One Is Never Deceived; One Deceives Oneself.

Words Are Good, But There Is Something Better. The Best Cannot Be Explained By Words. The Spirit In Which We Act Is The Chief Matter. Action Can Only Be Only Understood And Represented By The Spirit.

If You Have A Great Work In Your Head, Nothing Else Thrives Near It; All Other Thoughts Are Repelled, And The Pleasure Of Life Itself Is For The Time Lost.

Wine Rejoices The Heart Of Man And Joy Is The Mother Of All Virtues.

Man Can Find No Better Retreat From The World Than Art, And Man Can Find No Stronger Link With The World Than Art.

Stood I, O Nature! Man Alone In Thee, Then Were It Worth One's While A Man To Be.
